Teslas gigantiska fabrik börjar ta form

Sure to be the biggest supplier of lithium-ion battery cells in the world, the actual footprint of the factory is predicted to be around 3,000 acres. And once finished in 2020, it’ll be the world’s second-largest building by volume and roughly three times the size of New York’s Central Park. The most impressive feat of this production mammoth is it will be operating on 100% electric. That’s right, kicking fossil fuels to the curb, Tesla’s Gigafactory aims to do as they preach, working to make a sustainable factory that builds sustainable products.
